Consultancy Services

Helping organisations thrive through insight, strategy, and human connection.

With over 15 years’ experience as a clinical psychologist, evaluator, and team leader, I work alongside organisations to strengthen service delivery, enhance workforce wellbeing, and lead purposeful change—particularly in complex, mission-driven environments like the not-for-profit and community sectors.

My approach brings together psychological insight, systems thinking, and a practical understanding of how people and teams function at work. Whether it's supporting strategic change, reimagining service models, or aligning teams around shared goals, I focus on building clarity, connection, and impact.

What I offer

Experience

I bring a track record of work aligned with applied psychological expertise across individual, team, and organisational levels, including:

  • Leading system-wide evaluations and change processes in complex environments such as mental health, psycho-oncology, and palliative care — with a focus on embedding reflective practice, clarifying service intent, and improving outcomes (see section below for more information).

  • Contributing to sector capability and workforce development through mentoring, supervision, professional learning, alongside service on human research ethics committees. Demonstrated interest in community education via invited presentations for organisations and community settings — including the Black Dog Institute, Weill Cornell Medicine (NY), and Youthworks — spanning topics from wellbeing in specialist cohorts to responsive evaluation in community services.

  • Translating data into strategic insight through evaluation reports commissioned by not-for-profits, including Lifeline and One Door, to support decision-making, accountability, and continuous improvement (see section below for more information).

  • Supporting service sustainability and growth through tenders and funding submissions. Assitance to organisations to articulate their value, align with commissioning priorities, and present clear, evidence-informed models that reflect both strategic goals and lived service realities.

Excellence in clinical and applied research & evaluation

Discovering new knowledge and evaluating how well certain programs or services work is exciting and fulfilling to me. One of my favourite things about research is interacting with all the generous people who give up their time to take part in it and share their experiences.

One reason that I mention my research and evaluation background is because these skillsets and clinical practice can and should benefit one another. This benefit is described in what is known as the scientist practitioner model; namely, that psychologists should apply a scientific approach in their practice (e.g., undertaking a rigorous assessment, using evidence-based strategies) while also allowing their clinical experiences to inform and drive advances in the field through clinically relevant research and evaluation (e.g., generate ideas of research and evaluation topics, ensure the research and evaluation ideas and methods are “realistic”).

My research and evaluation interests are largely in health psychology, with a focus in the areas of psycho-oncology, palliative and end of life, bereavement, and evaluating mental health programs and services.
